The Ultimate Guide to Permanent Track Lighting for Your Home
Holiday lights bring joy, warmth, and magic to a home, but hanging them year after year can be stressful, expensive, and even dangerous. That’s why more families in Iowa and Illinois are switching to permanent Christmas lights, also called permanent track lighting.
These professional outdoor lighting systems let you enjoy customizable holiday displays and year-round curb appeal all without climbing a ladder.
In this guide, QC Lights explains everything you need to know about permanent lighting, including the benefits, costs, and installation process.
What Is Permanent Track Lighting?
Permanent track lighting is a professionally installed outdoor LED lighting system designed to stay up all year long. The lights are installed in custom aluminum tracks that are color-matched to your home, making them nearly invisible during the day but brilliant at night.
Unlike temporary Christmas lights, permanent track lighting can be controlled from your smartphone. With a tap, you can change colors, set schedules, or design patterns for holidays, events, or everyday use.
Benefits of Permanent Track Lighting
1. Year-Round Convenience
Say goodbye to ladders and tangled wires. With permanent holiday lighting, your home is always ready for Christmas, Halloween, the Fourth of July, or even game day celebrations.
2. Customization From Your Phone
QC Lights installs lighting systems that connect to an easy-to-use app. You can create millions of color combinations, set timers, or adjust brightness to match any occasion.
3. Boosted Curb Appeal and Security
Permanent lighting highlights your home’s features while also improving visibility at night—making your property both welcoming and safer.
4. Long-Lasting and Energy-Efficient
Our LED permanent lights last tens of thousands of hours and use a fraction of the energy of traditional holiday lights. That means lower electricity bills and fewer replacements.
5. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty
QC Lights offers a lifetime warranty on permanent track lighting systems. If a bulb goes out, we’ll replace it—no hidden fees or service charges.
How Much Does Permanent Track Lighting Cost?
The price of permanent outdoor lighting varies depending on the size of your home and the installation requirements. Most homeowners in Iowa and Illinois invest $2,500–$6,000 in a system.
While the upfront cost is higher than temporary lights, the investment pays for itself by eliminating:
Annual installation/removal costs
Replacing broken or tangled strings
Extra electricity from inefficient bulbs
Permanent track lighting is not just a holiday expense—it’s a home improvement investment that adds long-term value.
